Paula's dog is 36 lbs

Use the equation 48=3x+x

Add like terms: 48=4x

Divide: 12=x (x=Carla's dog's weight)

Then Multiply x by 3 to get Paula's dog's weight and you get 36 lbs

Solve the inequality |6x + 2| < 10 and graph its solution.
mars1129 [50]
This is a modulus inequality.
First part: when (6x + 2) is positive
6x + 2 < 10
6x < 10 - 2
6x < 8
x < 8/6
x < 4/3

Second part: when (6x + 2) is negative.

-(6x + 2) < 10   Divide both sides of inequality by -1 and change the sign.

  (6x + 2) > -10
   6x + 2 > -10
   6x > -10 - 2
   6x > -12        Divide both sides by 6.
     x > -12/6
     x > -2.

Combined solution:   x < 4/3  and x > -2

  -2 < x < 4/3.

Graph is a line on the number line between -2 and 4/3.  
 
-2 and 4/3 are excluded from solution.

The product of two positive consecutive numbers is 42. What is the smaller number?
Temka [501]
X = first integer, y = second integer (right after x)

since y is right after x, we can say
y = x+1

If the product of the two integers (x and y) is 42, then
x*y = 42
x*( y ) = 42
x*( x+1 ) = 42 ... y is replaced with x+1
x*x + x*1 = 42
x^2 + x = 42
x^2 + x - 42 = 0
(x + 7)(x - 6) = 0 ... factor
x + 7 = 0 or x - 6 = 0
x = -7 or x = 6

The result must be positive as the problem states it, so we toss out x = -7
The only answer is x = 6

If x = 6, then
y = x+1
y = 6+1
y = 7

The two consecutive numbers are 6 and 7

The final answer is 6

Sure enough, 6*7 = 42 checks out
